Re: Inheriting a Title
A friend of mine has always said that he could well inherit a Royal Title and that if they didn't change the rules, he and his Malaysian wife could sit in the House of Lords. there was good reason to believe that he, the father, was heir to the title of Earl of Fitzwilliam, currently extinct. If th...

It looks as though EVERYONE was taller than Matron. But she punched way above her weight. Her habitual mode of greeting was a fast right into the solar plexus. I have only linked to this because it appears to me that we women on here are currently punching above our weight. I haven't actually check...

Thank you! What sort of tea (i.e. from what sort of leaf...). I now believe there is an elephant on the box (or am I muddling up different postings on this thread? ). Correct - the elephant is the most important thing about Miles tea. http://www.djmiles.co.uk/ Whilst I had never heard of/about Mile...

On holiday in Australia I developed a taste for Daintree Tea, which is naturally low in tannin, so good without milk. It isn't availble in the UK, AFAIK. I gave up sugar in tea for lent one year, while at CH, and have never gone back to it. But at this time of day I am a coffee drinker. My wife has...

My current husband is into DIY but .... he has been known to leap up from his seat half way through a cup of tea to remove the door to the downstairs loo - then wait six weeks before doing whatever it was that needed doing! :shock: :shock: :shock: So? It's only taken nine years to get this place in...

By the time I was on the Grecians and living in the Boarding House, I porbably only slept c. 5 or 6 hoursa night - it was something I was completely used to! Not nice to go through perhaps but I learned a couple of useful lessons from all that. a) the human body can put up with far more than we exp...

Re: Don't worry!
Shoe polish to scrotum... shudder, shudder! How long did it take you to get it all off, David? :wink: Munch It was a rare action, made even more rare by the fact that most males do not like those parts handled by other males; in fact I can only remember it being done a couple of times in 9 years an...

I have just slept in her bed the last 2 nights. I thought of doing that, but since my daughter's bed is one which involves scaling a ladder, I thought better of it. Ladder or no ladder, you won't catch me sleeping in my boy's bed. CH sent various missives re: the importance of establishing good per...

Help for Parents and future pupils?
Reading the "Any Other CH Parents here? thread it seems that the thread has been of help to Huggermugger and lonelymom. We have previously had visits from parents considering when sending their offspring to CH so you are not alone. Equally and on the other side of the equation, her thread (whic...

Can I ask you something? As an Old Blue yourself, would you consider sending your child to CH? Hi, lonelymom Firstly and most important, welcome from the woodwork. As to your question I agree with what has been written in a different thread; it is a question of the balance between CH quality and lo...

According to CHA site, it's a col reunion - they even publish the programme and who's attending... Be interesting to see what they make of the newly refurbished col! Can't say I'm sorry to miss that; five people that I remember equals £3 a head or alternatively £2.50 an hour for marching practice...
